Putin delayed the shipment of oil for Trump. The tanker will not set sail for several days.
Vladimir Putin announced that the first tanker carrying Russian diesel will depart for the U.S. within two to three days, shifting the original schedule. The tanker is set to transport 40,000 tons of diesel, with more shipments expected afterward. Ukrainian officials criticize the agreement, arguing it could financially benefit Russia amid ongoing conflict. They emphasize that the shipment's volume is minimal compared to U.S. consumption. The deal has sparked controversy in Washington, with some senators urging President Trump to reconsider, fearing it rewards Russia without significant U.S. advantages.
